virtio-net / virtio-pci
The virtio virtual network card, and the virtual PCI bus that virtio devices attach to.
virtio-net is the paravirtualized network interface a guest OS uses to send and receive packets efficiently inside a virtual machine. virtio-pci is the transport that plugs virtio devices onto the guest's virtual PCI bus so the OS can discover and use them. Together they let mzOS2's network stack reach the outside world.
